* 2010 Queer wagonplace Schwarzer Kanal was forced to move from the old place in Berlin Mitte to Neukölln, to the new place in Kiefholzstraße which is owned by Lifo (the Liegenschaftsfonds).
* Since more than one year we are without contract as we cannot afford the rising rent expectations (300% more than before), and the negotiations with Lifo failed.

Now they sent us a new contract where they try to define more clearly for whom this place and the city should be and for whom not: To get a new contract, they insist again on the too high rent, that the wagons have to meet certain conditions (which are defined by them), and that it would be a reason to quit the contract if „WE“ would „live together with refugees“!!

They assume, that „WE“ are no refugees, but a homogenous, white, German group who might give home to marginalized people for charity reasons….This is their picture. But this is not our reality of living together. We are more or less in different aspects privileged and marginalized persons living and fighting together.

What the fuck?!!!

Liegenschaftsfonds as a state-owned company and organ of neoliberal city management is working with privatization, gentrification, following racism, classism and all that other oppressive shit… In this case they strategically try to separate us. What they are doing is fucked up. We don’t tolerate this shit, we are angry and we stand against this.
